"You are wealthy Man; Mr. Hatha way, and every year increases your posses sions. May I ask what is your object in accumulating so much prbperty ? " This is a very singular question, sir," said the merchant, who began to enter fain doubts as to his Visitor's sanity, " very singular. -I-suppotie that I am in fluenced by the same motives that actuate other men—the necessity of providing for my physical wants and so contributing to my happiness." ?`.fimil: this.•cciptents - .lou?':', But , your 'gains are not all devote! ia"this"purpose.

" Very. well ; you may tell him that I will come at that time.' The scene vanished as before—a change =over the surface of the mirror. the merchant looked, and to his surprise beheld the interior-of his own store. A faint light was burning, by the light of which a young man. whom he recognized as Frank Darell. one of his own-clerks, was reading a letter, the con tents of which seemed to agitatehim poirr erfally. The scene was brought to near that hit could, without difficulty. trace the lines, written in a delicate Aleale hind, of fol lows: _ " Mr Resit Sort—Yon aro not probe bly expecting to hear from me at this time l Alas r that I should have such an occasion to write. At the time of your father's death, it was supposed that, by the sacrifice of everything. we had suc ceeded iu liquidating all his debts. Even this consolation is now denied us. I re ceived a call from Mr. Perry, this morn ing, who presented, for immediate pay ment, a note, given by your father. for fifty dollart Immediate payment! How. with a salary barely sufficient to support us, can we meet such a change? Can any way be devised? Mr. Perry threat ens, if the money is not forthcoming, to seize our furniture. He is a hard man, and I have no hopes of appeasing him. I do not know that you can do anything to retard it; but I have thought it right to acquaint you with,this new calamity. " Your affectipnate mother, 4 MA ne DURELL." • The young mat' _ darn the letter with an air of depreSsion. " I scarcely know hbw to provide for this new coot ngency," said he medita tively. "My salary is small, and it re quires the strictest economy to meet my expenses. I might ask for an advance; but Mr. Hathaway is particular on that point, and I should .but court a refuted. But to have my mother's furniture taken from the house—the whole amonot would hardly cover the debt. There is one re ' source; but, alas! that I should ever think of resorting to it. I could take the money frorwthe till, and return it when T am able. But, shall I ever be able? It would be uo more nor less than robbery. At all events I will not do it to-right. Who knows but something may turn np to help us?" The young man blew out the lamp, and left the store. The picture faded. "I will dhow yon t nnnther pictnre,some what differentfronitheiothers; it will be the last," said the siranger. The nest scene represented the interior of a baker's shop. The baker —a coarse featered man, with s hard, nnprepossess leg aspect—was waiting on a woman, thinly clad in garments more suitable for Jane than December. She was porches two loaves of bread and a few crackers. There was another customer, waiting his turn. It was a gentleman with a pleasant smile on his face. • "Make haste," said the halter, rudely to the woman, who was searching for her money to pay for her 'purchase; I can't atop all day; and here's a gentleman that you keep waiting.? "0, never !Tad me; I am in no bur ry," the gentlem a n said. "I am afraid," said the woman, in an alarmed tone, "that I have lost- my money.

I will pay yon in a day or two. • Otherwise,my chil dren must go without food to-morrow." "Cant help that, You shouldn't have been so careless." The woman was abont turning away when the voice of the other customer ar rested her steps. "How much money have you lost ?" he intinired. "It was bat a half a dollar," was the reply; " but it was of- consequence to me, 10 . , I can get no more for a day or' -two ; and how we are- to:live then, Heaven knows." " Perhaps that will help you to decide the question ;" Esad he took from his pocket a five dollar bill, and . handed it to her. "0, sir," mid she, her fart lighting up with gratitnde, " - this is indeed generous and noble. The blessings of thoser you bavOlefriended attend von e . . She remained to make a few purchases, and then. with a light heart, departed. , The last pietnre faded from ,the mirror; and the stranger, wrapping it up, simply said : _ '• You hare seen bow much happiness a trifling sum can produce. Will you ant, out of your abundance, make a similar experiment?" Tlie stranger disappeared; and kr. fintbanay awoke to findkhis dream termi nated by the chime of the New Year's bells. • "This is . something more than a dream,". said thoughtfnily.• 51 will, at all events, take counsel of the nrystie vis ion; and it shall not be my fault if some heitrts are not made happier tWrough my means before another. sun Bete ; • When the merchant arose on the fol. doningirtornii,g; it nu with ',the light field srbie; alwa y is secomtnies 'the . de. termination to tfo right- Re was deXr• mined .that the Salutation of 1. happy New Year 7 shoald nibs a mere matter of byp service. .

He thinight—hay, he was quite ears—that in her he recognized the little girl who figured in the first scene, unfolded the eveninz before by,the niysterions mirror. Byway of 'ascertain. lug, he addressed•her in a - pleusant tone: "Your name is Alice, islt not • "Yes sir'," said she, looking ttp sat-prig. ed, and somewhat awed. l "And yenr father is sick, is he not r "Yes, sir; but he is almost well now." "I saw you were looking at the oranges in the window. Now I will buy you a dozen if you will let me help you carry them home." The purchase was made; and the mer chant walked along, conversing with his little conductor; who soon lost her timid ity. Arrived at the littl; girl's house he founi that he had not been deceived in his preientiments. It was the same room that he had seen pictured in the mirror. The sick wan was tossing uneasily in bed when Alice entered. .... "See, papa," said she joyfully; "see what nice oranges I have for you ; and here is the kind gentleman who gave them to me." The merchant, before he left the hum ble apartment, gave it occupants a timely donation, and made New Year's day It day of thanksgiving. Mr. Elathawav soon found himself at the residence of his friend Audlev„ who gave him a warm welcome. "This is in deed kind." said he. "The friendship that adversity can not interrupt is really val . Mr. Hathaway now introduced the ob ject of his visit, askyng " What do you mean to do with Arthur? Ho was nearly ready to go to college, was be not ?" "He was ; and this if one of the se verest trials attending my reversed ch.- cumstancps, that I eta compelled to dis appoint his long cherished wish of ob tnining a college education." "That must not be," said Mr. Hatha way. "If you and Arthur will consent, I will myself pay his charge through col lege." . " Mr. Hathaway," said Mr. Andley, in a glow of surprise and' pleasure, "this of-. fer evinces a noble generosity on your part that I shall never furivet. You must let me tell Arthur the good news. Mr. Andley summoned his ,son; and pointing to Mr. Hathaway, said: "This gentleman has offered to send you to col lege at his own expense." The eyes of the youth lighted up; and he grasp!d the,. hand of his benefactor, saying, simply !'" 0, if you but knew how happy you have made me r" “ Mr. Hathaway took his way to the store. Arrived there, he sought out Frank Durell, and requested him to step in the office, as he wish to speak to him in private. Your Salary is five hundred dollars a year, 'I believe, " said he. " Yes, sir," said Frank Durre% some what surprised. "I have come to the conclusion that this is not sufficient, and I shall therefore advance it two hundred dollars; and, as apart of it may not be unacceptable to you now, here are a hundred dollars that you may consider an advance." "Sir," said Frank Durell, hardly be lieving his senses, "you cannot ez.timate the benefit I shall derived from this gen erosity. My mother who depends -upon me for support, was about to be deprived of her furniture by an extortionate credi- - tor; but this timely gift—for I most con skier it so—will remove that terrible ne cessity. I thank you, sir, from my heart" "You are quite welcome," said the mer chant, kindly. "In future consider me your friend ; and if ynn should at any time be in want of advice or assistance, do not scruple to cbidide in me."
